Evanescence has unveiled a new rendition of ‘Afterlife’, showcasing collaboration with the electronic band GUNSHIP. This track serves as part of the soundtrack for the Devil May Cry animated series, which debuted on Netflix earlier this year.
Evanescence and GUNSHIP: A Thrilling Collaboration
The original ‘Afterlife’ captivated audiences with its classic Evanescence sound, enveloping listeners in drama and decadence. In contrast, the new version is a highenergy remix that aligns more closely with the gaming aesthetic. GUNSHIP infuses the track with 80sinspired textures and vibrant neon elements, reminiscent of the popular series Stranger Things.
Insights from Amy Lee
Amy Lee, the lead vocalist of Evanescence, expressed enthusiasm for this collaboration, stating, “We’ve been looking for an excuse to work with GUNSHIP for too long. I couldn’t be more excited about this dark new version of ‘Afterlife’. Being a part of the Devil May Cry series has been an honor and too much fun.”
